The Las Animas Community Blood Drive will be held on May 1, 2014 from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.

The donation location is inside the Fellowship Hall of the First Presbyterian Church located at 6th and Maple in Las Animas. For more information or to schedule an appointment please contact Bonfils Appointment Center (303) 363-2300 or visit bonfils.org.

This spring, it could be you who saves a life. In less than an hour you have the potential to save as many as three lives by donating whole blood. By giving blood, you'll help Bonfils Blood Center maintain a state of blood supply readiness, while meeting the needs of Colorado's patients.

Bonfils Blood Center provides blood and blood products to more than 100 hospitals and healthcare facilities throughout Colorado and beyond. Bonfils needs nearly 3,000 people to donate blood every week to meet the needs of the community and be prepared for any unforeseen events.
